Today, forward-thinking leaders are in a hyper-kinetic business arena. It is not a stable environment where older familiar forms of leadership prevail.

Between Bad Judgment & Good JudgmentIs Your #1 Leadership Enemy…

I’ve found one unexpected false move-blunder at every crime scene of failure:

The Shut-Down Syndrome

A hidden myopia that traps your brain

It’s a default setting, like a thermostat set to be cautious and avoid regret, a defense, not to be seen as a loser. It causes you to play small. It results in mediocrity.

It is more than the status quo most people talk about. It is a bias toward the known and familiar, and away from risk. It’s a myopic mindset making you unable to detect errors and impairing your leadership vision.

When you were a kid, you explored and changed more naturally, but for a variety of reasons, you started limiting yourself. Now the limitations happen subconsciously before you realize it.

Poor Decisions

Lower Performance

Suboptimal Outcomes

It blindsides you, slows everything downand causes you to have poor judgment.

How the Shut-Down Syndrome Is Defeated…

A VP Quality had 40% of her initiatives rejected by the CEO. Her own status quo bias narrowed the approach she was using. She replaced it with a game-changing influence strategy resulting in 80% approvals, plus her reputation with the CEO went from a second tier to a trusted confidant.

A President was seen as arrogant, intimidating and non-collaborative. His CEO said, “fix it or leave.” His family’s retirement future was at stake. His old school, status quo approach was counterproductive. We worked to rewire his mindset and he quickly transformed.

An Executive lost power and was unable to influence because of false beliefs shaped by his status quo bias. He acted defensive, rather than shifting strategies. Learning to defeat the status quo bias was a game changer for his leadership influence and the company.

A Sales VP thought he was ‘doing coaching’ to refine his charm. He started to understand that his reactive tendency was to play small. He began playing bigger from a new vantage point and developed his executive presence to transform major accounts into 10X returns. This had game-changing impact.
